Yes the only way to know what happens when an attacker is 'switched on' is to go for it with your teacher !
Once the student reaiise that the teacher is far beyond you in skill, they can loosen mind and body and start to observe what he is actually trying to teach.
ie. This was a video record for the students in Germany, not for 'demo'...the guys there all know that however fast or whatever intention they use its same result.
Hi Alex,
I think you mis understand my point. Being switched on is not a fight. not to do with speed etc IMO. However, there are 2 sides to the exchange between teacher and student. There is what the teacher is showing and what the student is subconciously engraining. If for most of my time as a student i am engraining to be soft, and loose minded as an Uke then I spend most of the time training this state. To unlearn this is extremely hard.
I actually wrote a small article on this very subject.
